About this trial

Addition of postoperative chemotherapy to prevent or delay recurrence in patients newly diagnosed with localized uterine leiomyosarcoma and who have undergone complete tumor surgery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of uterine leiomyosarcoma obtained less than 8 weeks from the surgery

Eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0 or 1

Patient was previously untreated with chemotherapy for a sarcoma, and did not receive anthracyclines and/or trabectedin for another cancer

Available Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tumor blocks in sufficient quantity and quality to allow CINSARC NanoCind® qualification (low-risk or high-risk)

Disqualifiers

All other histology types of uterine sarcoma (adenosarcoma, endometrial sarcoma, undifferentiated uterine sarcoma)

Prior or concurrent malignant disease diagnosed or treated in the last 5 years except for adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix, basal or squamous skin cell carcinoma, or in situ transitional bladder cell carcinoma

Planned pelvic post-operative radiation therapy

Metastatic or measurable disease on CT-Scan

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Relapse-free survival

The relapse-free survival is defined as the time from the date of randomization assignment (or the date of enrollment for patients in the prospective cohort) to the date of first disease recurrence/relapse (local/regional recurrence and/or distant metastasis) or death from any cause whichever comes first.

Time frame
From randomization or enrollment to disease recurrence or death, up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall survival

The overall survival is the length of time from randomization (or enrollment for patients in the prospective cohort) that patients enrolled in the study are still alive.

Time frame
From randomization or enrollment to death, up to 5 years
2

Metastases-free survival

The metastases-free survival is the length of time during and after the treatment for cancer that a patient is still alive and the cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.

Time frame
From randomization or enrollment to metastases onset or death, up to 5 years
3

Incidence of adverse events

The National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (NCI-CTCAE v5) is widely accepted in the community of oncology research as the leading rating scale for adverse events. This scale, divided into 5 grades (1 = "mild", 2 = "moderate", 3 = "severe", 4 = "life-threatening", and 5 = "death") determined by the investigator, will make it possible to assess the severity of the disorders. Safety and tolerability (NCI-CTCAE v5.0) will be assessed through the incidence of adverse events, treatment-related adverse events, serious adverse events (SAEs); and death.

Time frame
Throughout study completion, up to 5 years
4

Quality of life questionnaire - Core 30 (QLQ-C30)

Developed by the EORTC, this self-reported questionnaire assesses the health-related quality of life of cancer patients in clinical trials. The questionnaire includes five functional scales (physical, everyday activity, cognitive, emotional, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting), a health/quality of life overall scale, and a number of additional elements assessing common symptoms (including dyspnea, loss of appetite, insomnia, constipation, and diarrhea), as well as, the perceived financial impact of the disease. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. A high scale score represents a higher response level.

Time frame
At baseline, end of treatment (up to week 12), 4 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years
